You don't really need to vote "for" one of those two ... you can easily vote AGAINST the republicans, which just means pushing the "straight D" button in most places. You probably don't have to even push a button next to one of their names.

Not that I want to dissuade you from coming around to like the nominee and feel some positive energy. That's a worthy goal. But your vote is just as good if you are voting against the republican (by pushing D) than if you affirmatively vote for the Dem.

One look at the top of the republican ticket will be all you need, I'm sure.

important here is primary for Dem senate, DONNA EDWARDS v chris van hollen. The rest, will see, definitely have an idea, but hearing 'our' issues stomped on by matthews bugging me, so watching Classical Arts Network now, instead of run-up to 'debate.'
